@pitrou @lidavidm I see now the issue with typing and `ChunkedArray`. Related to this, @AlvinJ15 attempted to add `ChunkedArrayIterator` as a friend class to `ChunkedArray`, but `ChunkedArrayIterator` requires the `ArrayType` template parameter. `ChunkedArray` is agnostic of the `Array` type which `ChunkedArrayIterator` requires. Nevertheless, we can get the `ArrayType` via `TypeTraits` if we have the data type at compile-time. [Specialized `Arrays` have the `TypeClass` attribute](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/array/array_primitive.h#L41) which would work, but this attribute is not part of the base `Array` class which is what `ChunkedArray` works with. If we could add a `TypeClass` attribute to base `Array` then I think we are good, but what value would it have? Other ideas? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
